TRM Delivers Robotised Production Cell

The modules have been designed to fully automated the production process for Premium Retreading Material up to 500 mm of the tread width.

Two robots will manage the process steps of the whole cell granting a qualitative constancy of production, removing manual activities that do not add value and elevating the operator role to a supervisory level.

The whole cell will be operating in the US market from the second half of 2019, in order to cover the increasing demand in the North American market for this segment of products.

TRM is based in the province of Trento (Italy) and is specialised in the design and manufacturing of machines and production lines for the retreading of passenger, truck, OTR and aircraft tyres.
